The story of "Little Jim," a severely disabled boy, appears in the San Francisco Examiner. With no room at Children's Hospital to treat him, the city rallies to raise $30,000 and in that same year, The Little Jim Building is erected. "Little Jim" is its first occupant. A group of civic-minded women who volunteer their services in this facility became the first members of The Little Jim Club. |
